Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2009

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 836 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 80% of the total, against 107 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 180 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 149 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 149 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 180 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Our own measure, not a licensed walkability rating: every point comes from a City dataset listed under Sources, and the six parts add up to the score. How the score is built · the full ranking.

The nearest is 2339 Dufferin St (215 m, 120 units, 14 storeys, built 1976). None scored below 70; the average is 85, below the 90 typical of Toronto intersections.

26 registered buildings · 1,876 units · 6 social housing · tallest 16 storeys. The score is the City's RentSafeTO evaluation out of 100; buildings of three or more storeys and ten or more units are registered, condominiums and houses are not. Each building links to its full record on LandlordReport.

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Caledonia-Fairbank.
